Forgiveness

I've let my problems
become a weakness
in everything I've ever stood for.
But no longer will I have
regrets.
Growing up
was the first place
I let my heart sink to my legs.
Breaking in and attempting
to make this count.
Moving forward
with nothing in harms way,
The hope that banishes
hopelessness.
Approaching this willingly.
Until my body's found
I will scream:
"I'm the master of my own fate.
Anything in my path; dismantled."
With everything in me.
Though I've built this
with my own two hands,
I am coming clean and changing all of this.
But not myself.
I'll tear this down.
All you've worked for
is catching up to me.
While breathing in with undoubting compliance.
Nothing, yet everything in reach.
And anything that is given to us,
in respect for everything.
A Legacy of repentance
and widening my perspective,
Fear of the unknown.
I only speak the truth
about my intertwining innocence.
Maintaining self control.
Everything you've ever known,
hear these words as they bellow:
"No matter how hard I try,
my chest will always be hollow."
I'll tell you when I've had enough,
you'll never put a stop to this one.
As long as I'm still standing
May my words, may they always be much more
demanding.

Redemption

How things are
and how things could be
all this time,
I never thought to be easy.
I am clearly capable of
speaking for myself.
Looking back on everything that
shut me off
and cut me in half.
Holding my fist to my heart,
you don't understand.
This story starts with
never-ending pain
and ends with solace
condemning me
and throwing this behind.
Never satisfied, but always content.
Right in front of me,
becoming whole.
Time for a change,
the best of gifts.
Nothing can compare
to any thoughts of this.
Holding down my fort
in hopes of retaliation.
Bringing all my sorrows back?
That won't mean much to me.
Time for readjustment
with powers to preserve.
Questions of values
and powerful words.
In thoughts of hope,
I don't know where to begin.
I've strayed from the path once before,
I'll never lose myself again.
I'll never lose myself.

Acceptance

I've cut my ties with everybody to make room for progression
I've taken everything from the start
Salvage this broken heart
Mislead by subliminal meanings
Please guide my eyes to see
How have I never put a stop to this?
Everything had happened much to quick for me
I lost my focus
How can I stand strong with you gone?
To end this fight and overcome all of this sadness
And not look back at all the actions that were caused by this
Selfish solutions to our short-term problems
These broken promises, I haven't forgotten them
I wish that this would be different
But you have faced that this is it
You were brought here for a reason
It's time to wake up and realize
That there are harder things in life
Now I sit here wondering
'How am I going to end this constant strife?'
Implements are all that's seen
Ones of destruction swinging next to me
Bringing back the memories
Ones that are hidden underneath me
Out of everything I've ever done
Constant searching for a release
Trying to correct my missteps
And prove I'm capable of something
No longer walking back and forth
With my head down beneath my feet
A better sense of direction is coming to me
I stand for recovery
I want to show that the hardest thing in life
Is waking up to the fact that I'm only a man
I want to make things clearer
So I can find believers in what I'm searching for
Companionship to mend this broken life
